David Conover
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary
Office of International Affairs

Director, U.S. Climate Change Technology Program
The Washington Coal Club is pleased to announce its September 14, 2005 meeting will feature David Conover, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Office of Policy and International Affairs, U.S. Department of Energy, and Director, U.S. Climate Change Technology Program.
President Bush appointed Mr. Conover as Director of the Climate Change Technology Program (CCTP) at the U.S. Department of Energy in January 2003. The CCTP is an ongoing, integrated and comprehensive Federal R&D portfolio review. Coordinated across 13 key Federal R&D agencies, it is aimed at focusing Federal technology R&D more effectively on the President’s climate change goals, near- and long-term. It provides an opportunity to develop a coherent, multi-year R&D program, tied to specific climate change goals and objectives.
In December 2003, DOE Secretary Abraham appointed Mr. Conover as a Senior Policy Advisor to the Secretary. As Senior Policy Advisor, he provided counsel to the Secretary on a range of climate change and energy policy matters.
In February 2005, DOE Secretary Bodman appointed Mr. Conover to the position of Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary, Policy and International Affairs, and Acting Assistant Secretary for Policy and International Affairs (through May 2005). Policy and International Affairs (PI) is the primary policy advisor to the Secretary, Deputy Secretary, and Under Secretary on domestic policy development and implementation, as well as international energy policy analysis and activities. PI’s role is to deliver unbiased advice to Departmental leadership on existing and prospective energy-related policies, based on integrated and well-founded data and policy analysis. PI represents the Department in interagency discussions on energy and related policy, and addresses all aspects of U.S. energy, including energy availability and reliability, and the economic efficiency of the Nation’s energy sector.
As Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary, Mr. Conover continues to serve as Director of the U.S. Climate Change Technology Program.
Previous to this assignment, Mr. Conover served as Staff Director of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. He holds a J.D. cumlaude from the Georgetown University Law Center and a B.A. with highest honors from the University of Virginia, and is licensed to practice law in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
